New flood warnings have been issued and several others remain in force across the Isle of Wight following yesterday's (Thursday's) heavy rain.

The Environment Agency (EA) is now warning of high and rising water levels on the Eastern Yar at Sandown, Brading and Bembridge.

It takes the number of flood warnings in force for the Island to three. Residents in those areas are urged to install flood defences now.

In the last 12 hours, Knighton and Wroxall have both recorded 30mm of rain.

Morton Common is currently closed and Golf Links Road is also flooded.

From 9am, the EA has said Fort Holiday Park and Sandown Sewage works could flood as ditches struggle to drain.

Impacts are also expected at Nicholas Close, Brading and it will be several hours before river levels at Sandown start to fall.

The EA said: "If you have it, please install flood protection now. We recommend leaving it in place until Saturday."

A flood warning is also in place for Whitwell, Wroxall, Langbridge, Alverstone, on the Eastern Yar.

In Alverstone, the EA warns of flooding on the main road, near the bridge, and flooding to a small number of properties. 

A separate warning remains in force for Carisbrooke and HunnyHill on the Lukely Brook, following a 'large volume' of rain in Carisbrooke.

Meanwhile, four flood alerts are in place for the River Medina, Eastern Yar, Lukely Brook and St John's Ryde, respectively.
